Digital technology has revolutionized the modern world but as tech becomes more intelligent, its dangers on society become more transparent. From Trump’s tweet depicting himself wrestling ‘CNN’ to the ground to the detailed Facebook targeting used to win the Brexit vote, social media is proving to have a profound effect on humanity—and let’s not fool ourselves, this is dangerous.
Global leaders are taking advantage of social platforms to bypass the media and speak directly to the people, and walled gardens like Facebook are not only proponents of this behavior but are also directly contributing to keeping our population in divided silos. Truth be told, the reality of social tech’s impact is beginning to feel a lot like an episode of "Black Mirror...

Lyor Cohen isn’t off to a good start in his new role as global head of music at YouTube. In an interview with Recode last week, the longtime music executive — who was brought in to smooth over relations with the music industry — claimed that YouTube “had a solution” to help its Content ID team stop users who post full albums without artist or label approval, an issue that has plagued YouTube and infuriated the music industry for years.
Here’s what Cohen told Recode:
When I told [the Content ID team] about the albums, they said, “Yeah, they jumped over our Content ID by speeding up the tempo of the music, slightly. We’ve already got a solution for it.” I had them walk me through the process. I felt so proud that I could really talk to...
